What Are Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatment?
Brushing and flossing aren’t always enough to prevent cavities—some areas of your teeth need extra protection. That’s where dental sealants and fluoride treatments come in.
Dental Sealants: A thin, invisible shield that covers deep grooves in molars, blocking food and bacteria from causing decay. Ideal for kids, teens, and cavity-prone adults.
Fluoride Treatment: A concentrated fluoride boost that strengthens enamel, prevents cavities, and even repairs early signs of decay. More effective than toothpaste or water alone.

The Oasis Smile Dental Fluoride Treatment
Our professional fluoride treatments are convenient, comfortable, and an integral part of your preventative care:
- Comprehensive Assessment: Our dental team will assess your individual needs to determine the most appropriate type of fluoride treatment.
- Gentle Application: A fluoride varnish, gel, or foam is carefully applied to the surfaces of your teeth. The method used will be tailored to ensure maximum effectiveness and comfort.
- Optimal Absorption: We will provide clear instructions on post-treatment care, typically involving avoiding eating or drinking for a short period to allow for maximum fluoride uptake by your enamel.

Opting for sealants and fluoride treatment at Oasis Smile Dental in Northeast Calgary offers a multitude of advantages for your long-term oral health:
- Superior Cavity Prevention: This powerful combination significantly reduces the incidence of tooth decay across all age groups.
- Targeted Protection: Sealants shield vulnerable chewing surfaces, while fluoride strengthens the entire enamel structure.

- A Proactive Approach for Adults: Helps adults maintain healthy teeth, especially those with specific risk factors like deep grooves or a history of decay.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Sealants and Fluoride
While incredibly beneficial for children and teenagers as their permanent teeth develop, adults can also greatly benefit from both sealants (especially if they have deep grooves in their teeth) and fluoride treatment (particularly those prone to decay or with dry mouth).
Many Canadian dental insurance plans do cover preventative treatments like sealants and fluoride, often with specific guidelines based on age. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage. Our administrative team at Oasis Smile Dental is also happy to assist you with any insurance inquiries.
With proper care and regular dental checkups at Oasis Smile Dental, dental sealants can provide protection for many years, often ranging from 5 to 10 years. We will monitor their condition during your routine appointments.
No, both procedures are completely non-invasive and pain-free. You will likely feel nothing more than a gentle sensation during the application.
When properly applied and maintained, sealants create a tight barrier that significantly reduces the risk of cavities in the treated grooves. However, it’s still essential to maintain good oral hygiene on all tooth surfaces and attend regular checkups to ensure the sealant remains intact.
Professional fluoride treatments at Oasis Smile Dental contain a much higher concentration of fluoride than over-the-counter toothpaste. This allows for a more significant strengthening of the enamel and enhanced protection against decay in a shorter amount of time. Fluoride toothpaste is crucial for daily maintenance, while professional treatments offer an extra layer of defense.
Dental sealants are typically clear or tooth-colored, making them virtually indistinguishable from your natural tooth enamel.
